Haven't been back for a long time, so I thought this will be a good post. I will winterize this weekend. Wash>clay>Klasse Sealant>...been wanting to try some new products too. Anyone with suggestions?
 
I'm going to be winterizing over thanksgiving weekend. My second winter so I'm going to do it right this time rather than put a coat of souveran on it and call it good. Going to go with DG 601/105 and collinite 845. Will maintain with ONR and AW.

I'm not looking forward to winter again :(
 
I've gotten two cars ready for winter so far. One recieved a nice polishing, Jeffs Werkstatt AJ and Collinite 845. The other recieved everything :). There's a total of 3 layers of Zaino Z5 on the vertical panels while the horizontals got clayed and polished, topped with DG 105. The whole car then recieved a layer of 845 and a few hours some OCW.
 
I'm done.. I may do more though...:D

I have a coat of mystery sealant that Al gave me, a coat of DG 105, and two coats of Collinite 476s.. I think I should be protected...lol
 
I have my girlfriend's car already done; 106ff, DG 601/105, & Collinite 476sx2. Still haven't gotten to my truck yet since we've been working on redoing our basement for the last 3 weeks. Hope to have mine done before Thanksgiving with the same process.
 
I'm doing WG x2 then I'm going to top it with #16 wifes car will get Opti-seal x3 and #16 on top.
 
My Jeep has received Duragloss #601 + #105x2 and #951.

The wife's Audi will get M21 + 476s.

Wheels all get 476s.
 
I went for this combo:

DG 501
Jetseal x 3
Souveran (just for looks, first month)

Nothing comming true here :p
 
I think I may have winterized a month too early. I went with the Klasse Twins, WGDG Spritz Sealant and a coat of NR.
 
winterize....whats that...i live in texas...it was 85 deg. today lol....;)
 
i haven't polished but i did apply a layer of FK pink wax and Megs #16
 
Had some nice weather today by me, so I did my winterizing. Washed the car real good with strong stuff to strip it down. Used DG105 for the first time. The jury is still out, but so far I like the product. Cleaned my interior up too and switched to my winter mats. Tomorrow I will wax it once, maybe twice. Either max wax or XMT180 if my order arrives.

My winterizing isnt that intense because the GTO stays in the garage whenever the roads are real nasty, and I drive the beater. I still want long lasting protection though because Im not a fan of detailing in the cold.
 
I got a coat of DG #601 followed by #105 already on 3 cars. Probably gonna use #16 as a topper on one of them, #476S on another, and #845 on a third.

I too just used the 105 for the first time. I used 105 and Zaino Z5 next to each other and IMO they are very similar and share some type of chemical makeup. One difference I noticed was that 105 dusted a lot but I could have been using too much product (even thoguh I used the same amount w/ Z5 and no dust). Can anyone compare the slickness of 105 to Zaino Z5 (original)? I'm pretty disappointed with the durability of Zaino ... the shine didn't really diminish all that much after 4 months but the slickness was gone and the beads were large, fat and sloppy. But almost everyone is using DG105 for winter, so it doesn't seem like a bad choice
 
Wow.....amazing so many are doing the same. Did 601/105 and then Collinite 476 two Saturday's ago. Since it was so nice this past Sunday did another coat of 476. Just curious.....

Is there much diffeemce between 476 and 845? First Winter using Collinite.

Also, those that change to Winter floor mats what have you found works well in terms of collecting water well and your heal doesn't slip and slide all over the place? Gotta get some for my wife's van.

I use michellin weather mats. Lots of groves and wells and what not to hold that water and snow in.
 
Did that some weekls ago...

Duragloss`d em all.....
 
I have completed the winterization of the wifes vehicles, but haven't even got started on mine yet. 2 of mine just sit in the garage most of the time, so they're not a priority, but I really need to get my beater done. I'm going to have to get rid of some of these cars, I could make a full time job out of just keeping my personal vehicles clean..
 
i have done mine already. I clay, polish, and then 2 coats of vintage. We get chinooks here incalgary so when the next one comes i will aplly another coat of vintage.
